This is still almost completely primary with its patently ripe and overtly spicy black cherry and cassis-infused nose where floral notes add a touch of elegance. This is arguably the most powerful and imposing wine in the tasting with outstanding richness to the velvety and vibrant big-bodied flavors that offer excellent volume and ample mid-palate fat, all wrapped in a very firmly structured but vibrant and balanced finish. This is a serious wine that is evolving glacially and while it is not especially complex today, it seems manifestly obvious that the '05 Suchots possesses tremendous upside potential.
